Cohen first asked Dina, 43, about her relationship with her autistic nephew Nicholas, the 5-year-old son of Jacqueline and Chris. “I don’t know Nicholas at all,” she responded, adding that she has a photo of him on her dresser and she prays for him. “The work that I do, I see children… and he’s progressing,” she continued.

The hard-hitting Bravo host, 46, also posed a tough question about whether Dina would meet Nicholas if she were invited by the Lauritas. “Probably not,” she responded. “I have to say what hurts me more is my daughter. That’s her godfather and she grew up with [Chris]. I’m more bothered for the kids who understand.”

“I invited everybody to Lexi’s graduation party. Jacqueline, Chris, Caroline, the kids,” Dina recalled.

“And did they come?” Cohen asked.

“No,” Dina responded, point-blank.
